That sounds like a treasure! First, rinse the herbs very gently, then pat them dry. If they’re pretty leafy and a bit tart, a fresh herb salad would be lovely—mix them with some citrus zest, a splash of olive oil, a pinch of sea salt, and a drizzle of honey to balance the bitterness. If they’re more woody or have a peppery bite, chop finely and fold into a bright pesto: blend with garlic, pine nuts (or walnuts), parmesan, a squeeze of lemon, and olive oil. The pesto can be tossed with pasta, spread on crusty bread, or stirred into a simple risotto. Just remember to taste as you go; the wild flavors can be bold, so a touch of sweetness or acidity will round them out nicely. Happy cooking!

That’s a beautiful way to honor the wild finds—just like the herbs, a dish can be a quiet story. Do you know if those leaves feel more like mint, sage, or something spicier? A pinch of freshly ground pepper could add a playful bite, or a swirl of maple syrup would keep that gentle sweetness. Maybe keep a little jar of that pesto for a future brunch? Happy experimenting, and enjoy the calm moments in the kitchen!
